Candy of the 90s has always had a
special air about it
it wasn't always the most appealing but
they certainly made up for that with big
taste well for about two minutes anyway
for a blast from the past let's check
out the top ten best candy of the 90s
commercials no skipper knows yet
icebreakers allow me to break the ice
being released in the middle of the 90s
these little mints made a huge splash
with their flashy commercials and very
intense taste the invention of ice
breakers was made to compete in the
increasing fervor with all things minty
and fresh that were dominating the
market in the 90s Mentos the freshmaker
though that shouldn't be confused with
these being a passing trend though they
were released in the 90s and had an
explosion of popularity when first
released the brand has actually
continued to increase in popularity over
the years and can still be found
basically everywhere nowadays hey what
about me hey everybody look at me I'm
another distinctive factor is that these
come in plastic circular jars that are
very unique and that's one of the things
people really enjoy about these candies
these circular tubs could be seen
everywhere in the 90s they were actually
bought by and are now manufactured by
the Hershey Company ice breakers have
been steadily increasing in sales since
her she took over showing that the
chocolate and candy kingpin really has
the magic touch so whether you remember
these from the 90s or you know them as a
modern mint staple ice breakers were
among the coolest candies to come from
the 90s ring pops ring pops are still a
candy that many buy and love to this day
it's just a simple lollipop made by tops
but it makes people feel so special
who doesn't want a lollipop that a you
don't have to hold in your hands and be
is in the shape of a giant diamond
aren't diamonds a girl's best friend
you're so great as good as ring pops are
they do have a nasty downside to them
they can get a little messy depending on
how sloppy of a lollypop liqueur you are
I mean seriously
some people actually ended up licking
the back of their hand just as much as
the pop the company tried to make
flavors that stood them apart from the
other lollipop competitors so they
offered blue raspberry twisted berry
blast cherry watermelon strawberry and
those are just the original flavors
since then the candy has not only
thrived but it has come out with a few
other flavors and a specialty line of
sour ring pops these pops basically have
the same flavors as the originals but
they are you guessed it sour
which makes us wonder who would want to
suck on something so sour
for so long what are you doing yo the
product line has expanded to include
twisted flavors mystery flavors and even
gummies ring to push pop tops brand
really does have an obsession with
lollipops in addition to creating the
Ring Pop the company also created it's
equally awkward to eat push pop as the
name indicates this candy was pushed up
and could retract back down if you
wanted to save the rest for later it was
a low-tech yet genius invention for 1986
right
what other candy company was thinking of
the poor souls who couldn't finish their
lollipop in one sitting when it was
initially released the candy had a
single lollipop in it and you could
choose from the flavors blue raspberry
strawberry watermelon and berry blast in
case you couldn't tell these are the
exact same flavors as ring pops so tops
basically rebranded their ring pop and
sold it as a push pop now fans of the
candy can choose from several new
flavors and different ways to consume
their push pop there are push pops
sliders which just look like a
differently shaped push pop the triple
power push pop and finally there is the
Jumbo push pop this one is just a bigger
size for people who can't get enough the
push pop options seem endless lifesavers
holes
Oh candy that is supposed to resemble a
real life-saving device became popular
essentially overnight who would have
thought that this candy which really
didn't have anything special about it
would be such a hit and when something
is a hit you get your own spin-off just
like on TV what is this a crossover
episode you know that gets funnier every
time lifesavers holes were supposed to
be the holes that were taken out of the
middle of the lifesavers
they were chewy and way easier to eat
you didn't have to suck on them for a
crazy amount of time before you could
move on to another tasty piece the candy
came in a few flavors including
peppermint for the people who wanted to
feel like they weren't eating candy but
just enjoying an after-dinner mint the
other flavors included Island fruits and
their original fruit flavors one of the
fun things about this candy was the
packaging it came in a container that
you could easily open and close and it
also resembled the cylinder like shape
that the original lifesavers came in it
was fun to just pop the container open
and closed we can only assume that the
Wrigley's company who are the makers of
the candy had an overabundance of extra
candy they just couldn't let go to waste
although this candy is no longer
available have no fear as there are so
many other tasty treats to enjoy like
skittles
ouch gum what was with the 90s and
turning medical items into candy not
just any medical item but band-aids kind
of gross no ouch bubble gum came
complete with three different types of
band-aids in one package they all had
their own color neon orange neon pink
and neon green the gum was made by the
Wrigley's company and they kept the
candy pretty simple with just three
basic flavors strawberry watermelon and
grape each piece of gum was wrapped in a
package designed to look just like a
real band aid package the container that
held those candy band-aids was a tin box
something resembling a very old band-aid
first aid package I hope you brought
enough for everybody
they are also really trying to emphasize
that ouch gum is sugar-free the taste of
this gum isn't the greatest and the
flavor doesn't last long but what can
you expect from a novelty candy most
people can now find these at nostalgic
candy stores or from marketplace sellers
on eBay or Amazon sweet tarts sweet
tarts have come a very long way from
that chalky hard candy that we all used
to buy as kids back in the day the
Nestle brand candy now offers multiple
versions of sweet tarts like fruit juice
sugar ropes chewy sweet tarts and other
different flavors however when the candy
debuted they only offered the one candy
the pill like tablet candy was a mix
between sweet and tangy the flavors
available in each pack were cherry grape
lemon lime and orange although today
lime has been replaced by dune apple and
the orange flavor was retired in 2013
that's it I'm retired
in addition Nestle added a new blue
punch color and flavor to the bunch we
aren't sure what blue punch flavour
means but we can assure you it's likely
sweet and tart mmm it's tight but savory
sweet tarts have become somewhat of a
gimmick now and Nestle is going along
for the ride they continue to release
the popular candy and have also come up
with bigger and flatter sweet tarts they
taste the same only they're larger they
were clearly trying to target the fans
of the candy who just can't get enough
the sweet tarts brand also makes Pixy
Stix which are basically sweet tarts and
powdered form delivered to the mouth via
plastic tube they also make giant chewy
sweet tarts sweet tart jellybeans
normally around Easter and the adorable
Skull and Bones sweet tarts around
Halloween 7up so delicious 7up so
delicious was a favorite fruit snack for
many in the 90s they were chewy covered
in sugar and the flavors were so tasty
Redbury
lemon-lime and grape were delicious and
the package even bragged about being
made with real 7up and real cherry 7up
this is probably why they tasted so darn
good these fruit snacks were made by
Betty Crocker this could be why the
flavor always tasted more authentic than
most candy snacks on the Shelf seen as
they were so good the company decided to
try their luck at striking gold twice
they brought out a new line of so
delicious fruit snacks featuring other
sodas the line featured orange cherry
cola and root beer they tasted just as
great as the originals and to top it off
they were shaped like little soda
bottles and the root beer ones were
shaped like mugs of root beer with the
froth on top not only was this snack
clever but it also had so much potential
the snack was unfortunately discontinued
some time back and people have been
longing for them ever since we're not
allowed in the 2000s we have to stay
back here in the 90s at the time they
were some of the best snacks on the
shelf candy blocks I'm sure we've all
been told not to play with our food at
one point or another in our lives well
this is one exception to that rule
candy blocks are essentially edible
candy Lego blocks yes they still connect
together and can be used to build and
assemble whatever Lego construction
project you have in mind then when you
are done you can eat said creation what
a novel concept they are sold in a few
different formats including large
plastic jars milk cartons and small
boxes the packaging featured directions
for how to build small things like a
tree car or dog hi doggie to get your
creative juices flowing the texture and
flavor of candy blocks are something
akin to that of sweet tarts but who are
we kidding you did not buy these for the
taste you want to build things with your
candy and in that sense these definitely
deliver candy blocks were very popular
in the 90s but are still available and
popular to this day fun fact if you can
find these being sold in bulk you can
buy these by the pound
and they end up being cheaper than
actual Legos which even though kids love
to put in their mouths you can't
actually eat this is obviously a cool
idea that has stood the test of time and
with Lego continuing to be a very
popular brand we don't see the demand
for the 90s classics that are candy
blocks going away anytime soon either
gummy blue sharks this has to be one of
the most basic candies on this list they
were all so easy to find and the simple
taste was appealing to everyone these
aqua blue shark babies actually featured
two flavors in one the aqua blue gummy
area was blue raspberry and the white
part was a sweet marshmallow these used
to be 99 cents a pack which was more
than a lot of other candy cost at the
time but they were considered to be one
of the higher-end candies particularly
the shark gummies which I hadn't seen
elsewhere though easy to find they were
not as readily found as saved skittles
or Smarties it seems like recently gummy
blue sharks have regained their
popularity and are experiencing a
resurgence and excitement they are made
by the Ferrara candy company and can
even be found in five-pound bags on
Amazon that should last at least a
couple of days you're gonna need a
bigger potion we can only assume that
this was the only flavor and color
combination at the time because blue was
the only color gummy shark in the 90s
but who says there can't be or aren't
any other flavors now in some places
usually bulk candy shops you can find a
few other colors red which is cherry
green which is green apple and even
yellow which is well it's hard to make
out the taste of that one 90s kids
fondly remember this candy and when they
are made by people who have been in the
candy business for over 100 years well
you kind of don't need anyone else's
opinion you know that's just like
your opinion man airheads now we have
come to airheads the candy that eats
like a taffy but could never really live
up to the ever-popular Laffy Taffy many
people even describe this candy as taffy
like it was made in the mid 80s but
didn't gain traction until the early 90s
airheads are manufactured by a Dutch
Italian company but are only sold
nationwide in America what are you
picking at fellow ninety stab Joey
Lawrence there are now well over ten
flavors of this candy including the
original flavors there's cherry orange
watermelon blue raspberry grape and of
course white mystery white mystery was
obviously a mystery flavor and was
colored white as to not give away what
the flavor was the flavor is different
with every batch and is actually said to
be the leftovers of the other flavors
just mixed together to form a flavor
that is well actually a mystery and to
many humans a mystery is irresistible
since then the company has tried to keep
up with the times and expanded their
candy flavors and they weren't shy about
the combinations they now have mango
chili which is an orange base with red
dots another way out of the box flavor
is maple which is only available in
Canada Canada you did it again you even
found a way to ruin this since the 90s
airheads has continued to expand the
line with new offerings they now have
airhead bites a candy with a bit of a
harder shell and a soft chewy tangy
sweet inside you can also get airhead
gum and airhead extreme sour Foles all
with the sweet and tangy taste that
airheads are known for when we met you
were an eclectic anarchist how did you
become the group's airhead tap on
